How to adjust the rear derailleur on your bicycle. Mountain or road bike
Steps I use on adjusting the rear derailleur on my bikes. Works for mountain or road bikes. This may not be the best way but it works for me. Shimano XT used as an example in the video.
dizzy shifting hehe
Awesome video man! And you have the same Lizard Skin as I do on my Norco Atomik
@ravineg5 Cool!
@Johnnysshop
It worked! Thank you so much!
@DrewNutts Thanks!
@ravineg5 If you follow the video here you should be able to fix it.
@cpzd83 Technically you could do it without
do i need the derailleur cable on for the high and low end screw adjusments?
Hey, whenever I put my gear to 1 on my rear derailleur, it goes to 4th, and the chain moves from the biggest to smallest, so when I put it to one it’s at 4th and when I put it to 4th it’s at the first one, can you please help me how to fix this?
probably one of the best biking tune up video!
@BlueBowlGraveyard lol
@Johnnysshop Ya your probally right, and lucky enough for me, it was only the deraillleur hanger that snapped.
Lesson learned for me…dont touch my derailleur
@BlueBowlGraveyard Yikes, you must have really cranked on that thing hard.
@sKwiD Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
@RitterGamma Glad I could help!
ooh man you safed me al lot of monay thank you
Very informative DIY and filmed nicely. Thanks! I’ll try these steps before bringing my bike in for a tune up.
I DID SOMETHING WRONG ALONG THE WAY…THEREFORE I ENDED UP WITH A DERAILLEUR THAT SNAPPED OFF OF MY FRAME…OOPS
@gizmo17 Loosen up the pinch bolt for the cable, see if the shifter moves up then. If it does, put it in the highest gear and pull the cable to where it needs to go and tighten the pinch bolt back up while doing so.
@barquedust Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for the FREE info!! I appreciate you taking your time to make my life a little easier!!
The shifter feels like it has reached it’s limit.
@gizmo17 Does it feel like it wants to shift or does the shifter feel like it reached it’s limit? Could be a couple of things…
Hi, great video, thank you. My issue is that the shifter goes through about half the gears only and after that, it doesn’t click to the other bigger gears. Is there an adjustment for that? I tried the barrel and while it gets the chain to shift to the next gear, it doesn’t increase it’s reach.
Great video, your bike is so too clean do you even ride it…lol.
